About half an hour later, Huzi came running back and said, "Little comrade, our boss said we'll pay 600 yuan per ton for all 100 tons of rice."
Chen Xia thought about it and agreed. Although the profit dropped a lot, the advantage was that he didn't have to go to the trouble of retail.
"Okay, I'll go to the Overseas Chinese Store to pick something out first. I'll be out in about an hour and we'll meet here again. It's such a big deal, I'd like to have the money and the goods delivered right away."
"That's as it should be. Let's meet here in two hours. We also need to get ready."
Just like that, Chen Xia was about to walk to the Overseas Chinese Store with a bunch of foreign exchange coupons in his hand, but he was stopped at the door.
"Excuse me, comrade, our shop only accepts foreign guests."
Chen Xia had already prepared and spoke fluent English.
"Excuse me, sir. Although I am Chinese, my elders are all overseas. They sent me a lot of US dollars, so I need to buy what I want here."
When the staff at the door heard the fluent English, they believed it a little more. These days, overseas Chinese do often send money back home, and their relatives are also qualified to buy goods in overseas Chinese stores.
For them, as long as they had foreign exchange, anyone could come, so they politely let them in.
Chen Xia walked in smoothly.
If an ordinary person came in for the first time, they would definitely be shocked by the dazzling array of goods in the overseas Chinese store, but who is Chen Xia? He walked around and couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart:
"That's it? Can you compare with my Dayi Wu?"
The service at the Friendship Store is obviously much better than that at the department store. The waiters all answer inquiries with a smile and never show any impatience.
There were many samples on the appliance counter. Chen Xia looked around but didn't see any familiar brands, so he asked a salesperson:
"Comrade, I want to buy a color TV. Do you have any recommendations?"
The salesperson was not surprised. Only the wealthy or the noble could come to such a place. He pointed to the counter behind him and said enthusiastically:
"Comrade, if you want to buy a color TV, we only have the Grundig brand imported from Germany. This is the largest one, 18 inches, and it costs 1,000 yuan in foreign exchange coupons."
"Can I try it?"
"OK."
The salesperson had already noticed the thick stack of foreign exchange coupons in Chen Xia's hand, so he quickly plugged in the TV, connected the antenna, and the picture immediately popped up.
As the sound of a TV came from the speaker, people nearby quickly gathered around.
Everyone was amazed. "Oh, this color TV is really good! Wow, it costs 1,000 foreign exchange coupons. It's really expensive."
Chen Xia wanted to roll his eyes when he heard the envious voices of the people around him. People who have seen high-definition TV have no interest in this kind of cathode ray tube TV. There is no other way. LCD technology has no chance of success now, so he can only make do with it.
"Miss, give me two of these Grundig TVs. By the way, do you have any refrigerator recommendations?"
The people around him exclaimed again, "Wow, whose son is this? He's a rich man."
"He's probably a Chinese overseas. What young man in China would dare to be so prominent and not be caught by others?"
Chen Xia ignored the others' comments and, on the salesperson's recommendation, bought two domestically produced "Wanbao" refrigerators. Thinking of summer and the large crowds in the plum garden, he also bought five electric fans and a washing machine.
I bought so many home appliances and spent a total of 5,500 yuan in foreign exchange coupons. What should I do if half of it is still unused?
Based on the principle that it is not easy to come here and we should not waste the opportunity, Chen Xia strolled around the food area again and bought a lot of imported snacks, such as biscuits, candies, chocolates, juices, women's cosmetics, etc.
In addition, he bought four Longines women's watches, one each for Chen Chun, Chen Qiu, Gu Lin, and Xu Yuan.
In this way, Chen Xia spent a million yuan in two hours at a speed of whirlwind, which was definitely a huge spend even in the Friendship Store.
Because Chen Xia bought so many things, the Friendship Store also kindly provided door-to-door delivery service.
Chen Xia asked them to move all their belongings to Chen Chun's house. If he used magic on the spot to make all the things disappear, he would definitely be caught as a monster.
That evening, the rice transaction was successfully completed. Chen Xia received 60,000 yuan in cash for 100 tons of rice, adding a significant amount of money to his treasury. The question of how to spend the money became Chen Xia's pressing need.
After Chen Xia put all his things into the Space Hospital, he ran to Jiangzhou, his hometown in his previous life, the next day.
Jiangzhou People's Hospital dormitory, Chen Zhenwu's home.
Bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" The old lady was alone at home and opened the door when she heard a knock.
As soon as the door opened, Chen Xia jumped in, "Grandma, I'm here, haha."
After saying that, he enthusiastically held the old lady's hand and refused to let go.
The old lady was a little confused. After a closer look, she realized it was the young man Chen from Yuezhou. She scolded him angrily, "Be careful! My bones are about to fall apart. What are you doing here? Do your brother and sister-in-law know about it?"
"We were taking an exam together in the provincial capital the day before yesterday. They don't know I came here this time. I came here specifically to deliver home appliances to you."
The old lady was puzzled again: "Home appliances, what home appliances?"
Chen Xia looked at the empty room and said with a smile, "I bought a big color TV and a big refrigerator. You'll be bored at home every day, so you can watch TV. I even bought you an electric fan when it gets hot."
Yes, the reason why Chen Xia bought a TV for the Chen family in Jiangzhou was specifically to prevent her grandmother in her previous life from being too bored at home.
The old lady came from the countryside and had little cultural knowledge. She didn't dare to go out alone and always stayed in her room embroidering. In the end, her eyesight became a little worse.
This adopted grandson from the previous life, now that he has the means, will of course think about the physical and mental health of his grandmother from the previous life.
When Chen Xia took the old lady downstairs, there was already a large group of neighbors watching.
"Oh my, what is this? Am I seeing this right? An 18-inch imported color TV?"
"Look, there's a big refrigerator too. It's Wanbao, a famous brand from Dongguang Province."
"Oh, there are a lot of imported food here, and there's even an electric fan. Has the Zhenwu family made a fortune?"
Hearing the neighbors talking about it, Chen Xia smiled and said, "These are all gifts I gave to my eldest brother's family. Don't get me wrong. With my eldest brother and his wife's personalities, they'll never get rich in their lifetime."
Everyone around burst into laughter. They felt a little better because it was given to them as a gift. If they had bought it themselves, who knows what they would say behind the scenes about Chen Zhenwu and his wife.
Then, with the help of several neighbors, all the appliances were moved upstairs.
The neighbors did not leave either. The living room was full of people, all staring at how Chen Xia was adjusting the TV. In the entire Jiangzhou People's Hospital, this was the first one to have an 18-inch color TV.
